Thank you for your beautiful PB blog. Today, I loved everything you wrote and painted.I love the watercolor paintings, the photos, the food, the fashions and the terrain of NY and Pariseveryday is a new surprise.

I believe you are doing the total of all that you like of Paris here! However nice it is, I believe you must force yourselve to some less chic quartiers next time, just to let us see how you treat them in words and paintings!

Oh, those ubiquitous Vanessa Bruno totes! Even I was enticed (out of character) to buy one of those when I lived in Paris. Sold it on Ebay after I moved back to the US though. Along with my Longchamp collection. :)

I have signed up to take a water color class at the local college. I have always been able to sketch, but have never painted. I noted your paintbox and wondered if you could tell me the maker. The instructor gave out a list of colors and paper, but your set looks very much more convenient to use than a bunch of tubes.

I just wanted to let you know that I received the wonderful Paris watercolors from you and LOVE them. I'm having them framed this weekend and will send you a picture of how they look when completed. I've shown them to many friends already and they are amazed as well. Thank you so much...

This is such a fabulous idea! I love it! I will actually be traveling to Paris with my family this July for about a week...will you be in town then? Would love to meet you in person... if not, I will seriously consider ordering a portrait as a little souvenir.

SUCCESS!Both for you and for me! I love my Paris portrait painting.And my macarons turned out parfait! They have pied! However, I only got 19 out of the batch and I'm afraid they might not travel well to NY - so you and bear will have to forgive me; however, I will think of you as I eat them and go miam, miam

I got it today!!! It's fantastic! I am so happy - I've already framed it and it's sitting next to me on the coffee table as I write!! My husband and I love the way my DVF trench coat came out - it looks amazing and you captured it perfectly!! Sorry for the excessive use of exclamation marks, but I am very excited, can you tell?!?
